 Against such thick-skinned people the ordinary weapons G polite society are use- less. In spite of the hints and plain no-
 tieas in the paper that uninvited guests would not be welcome many presumed to take friends and relatives with them un- bIea6en.

An admiral IS credited with I leading in file of 10-all as if 1t were the
 most natural thing in the world and rather askinaness to the host. People seemed to ] be possessed to go to this particular ball l and appeared to think that it would be very different from any other ball ever ! given. They4 expected perhaps that the
 petticoated host and his aids would intro t duce something very oriental and dance a l Manchu- hornpipe or serve supper ot i birds' nests, with chop-sticks.
 l Another lot had an idea that the supper
 would be the point, and when the dining room doors were thrown open mob rush ed in as if famished. Men fell upon the table like wild beasts, and snatched and fought and gorged themselves. A solid I wall of men, six deep, was before the ta- ble for all the time the room was open. i Several times the doors were closed and l the tables left empty for few minutes to
 clear away some of the gluttons who were Ieating steadily for 8 half-hour at tune without moving. The punch-bowls were lernptied before the streams from the re- lhning pitchers ceased Champagne was
 poured into goblets and tossed of like wa
 ter. Men even forced their way into the
 house and went into the supper-room in
 overcoats, with hats in their hands, and
 struggled to the edge of the table. The

One of the best political stories that we have seen for 8 long time is told by the Portland Express In the forties the towI of Crawford, in Washington county, threw 50. democratic votes with none opposed. In order to break this recordrsome Calais federalist sent man there to vote one town meeting day. Hanseomb, chairman of the selectmen, was tough old demo. orat. He counted the votes, beginning with John Fairfield, the democratic candi- date for governor Vote after vote for him came out of the box At last Hans comb received an electric shock. He found federal ticket
 He was equal to the emergency Talk ing the piece of paper between his thumb and finger, he held it up to the angry gaze of the yeomanry, and exclaimed, in voice of thunder: 5se it tlG-
 "Who threw that are Feedeereal ticket ?n
 Tho offender knew if he affirmed it would be as much as his life was worth, and remained silent. s5 e
 Hanacomb stood holding the vote in the air short period, and saying, ''no one ap- bearing to have cast this vote, it is evi- dently here by mistake, and 1t will not be counted, he cast it on the floor as though it were dead rat. '.'

had assigned, caused q profound seEsa-
ton and q universal feeling of regret
prevailed. The assignee is Mrs. Kauf-
man, who is largely interested IN the
house and resides in Europe. 1t is the
result of the failure of Mr.. julius Runge,
Junior member of the firm, to carry
through successfully his attempt to
corner the cotton market, the
recent break in the staple causing him to
lose so heavily as 10 make an assignment

failure does not effect the commercial in

is confined exclusively to the firm of
which Runge was so conspicuous mem

bilities has been made, and any
statement to this effect at
this time is mere speculation. The
firm is one Of the Oldest in the state. It
was established In this city in 1870, and
